My good friends at Lutz Machinery are putting up a much better website soon, here is the link:>Lutz Machinery
Lutz is THE premier source for diecutting plates, honeycombs and heaters for the packaging industry. No, seriously, I go down there a lot and Hank (the owner) knows almost everything there is to know about such things. Nice shop!

A couple of years ago I sold an Instant Z Axis to Fred Smith at IMServ. At the time, I expressed some concern with selling to him, and explained to him that I didn't want to get my design knocked off. His reply was"I would never do that!" He said he wanted to see if I could make them for him to sell. Needless to say, I never heard another word from him. Imagine my suprise when one of my customers sent me this link to Fred's website:Fred's Z Axis
It's not the competition I mind, it's the LYING.
Of course, he is a big company with expensive lawyers and I am just a little guy running a one man operation, so,(sarcasm coming up here) he has every right to do whatever he can get away with.

The Moog/Hydrapoint worked out very well, for what I use it for. I am driving it with Gecko 201's and Dancam/Danplot.

01/28/09 -Phil Moore has his PCB milling site up and running at www.millpcbs.com
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I have been making and sharpening various types of engraving cutters since 1977 and you would be suprised what utter shash people believe about what you can and can't do. I finally ran across a website that isn't full of BS and self-promotion: Antares Cutter Information Page
Information on Max Thomas from the City Boy Band:City Boy
An old Aquaintance from the 70's makes it to Jimmy Kimmel Live on ABC :
Singer, songwriter, Drummer, and all around Musician, I have known Johnny A. since '75, when we went racing down a 5 mile long mountain at speeds of 100 mph with the stereo blasting"The William Tell Overture",Strange but true. Johhny has enjoyed success in the vastly popular Vermont band, "The Huge Members", and now is out on his own.

Here's a picture of the new setup for grinding PCB cutters, I started getting problems with the old setup; not suprising after 3500 cutters over 10 years with a temporary rig. I replaced the cast iron-on-steel bearing with two huge ball-type bearings and replaced the old cheap deltron slide with a brand new heavy Micron slide. I also redid the motor mounts, belt, and leadnut mount. (see pic's of old unit in Things I have built link.) Guards and covers removed for clarity, by the way.
_______________________________________________________________
Instant Leadnuts for almost any design. 1/2"-10 Acme RH thread,Drill/ream a hole and pop it in. Lock it with a setscrew on the side or from the end with a 1/4-20 screw. $15.00 Ea. plus shipping. LH available on request.
The 3Speed Spindle
Still only $90.00 plus shipping!( and it's AC or DC 110V).
More New Stuff! 3Speed PCB Spindle Adapter for Sherline!
Coming Soon: Adapter to mount a Sherline Milling Head to a Taig Milling Machine Body!
UPDATE: The pins are hardened, ground, and ready to be assembled to the adapters See pic's below for grinder shots, And yes, that is a lead brick on top of the grinder headstock....
I am running off a small run of a very heavy duty adapter for Taig dovetails, I may sell these on a regular basis if there is any interest.
DISCAIMER: Neither Taig Tools nor Sherline endorses the use of my adapters for accessories on their machines, but I do have their permission to make these adapters, as I was careful not to make anything without asking both of them.
INFORMATION: I spoke to Cliff at Taig Tools at some length and he has redesigned the Taig Spindle for ER type collets. I use ER's on the Monster CNC and I can say that they make life a lot easier when changing tooling. I can also say that for a man who has as much knowledge and experience as Cliff has, he is not pompous or condescending at all.
NEW! Taig Mill Adapters for the PCB Spindle! $15.00 plus $5.00 shipping.
Here you can see that the holder can mount vertically.......
Or horizontally.
NEW!Check "Freebies" for L297/298 design.Plus, L6506 Chopper add-on board is here! Layout on freebies page!

Universal Wood Router Holder. Available in Aluminum or Steel. See link below. Note: The extrusion I was buying for the aluminum router holder is all gone, so I am re-tooling for a similar design using flat stock. The price will stay the same.
